As one team of firefighters entered, the building to make an attack on the fire several other firefighters used ground ladders to rescue several residents from their second and third floor balconies.

With the fire extending to the upper floors and the possibility of the fire extending into another building a second alarm was quickly transmitted.

At one point firefighters were ordered out of the building due to the possibility of the roof collapsing said fire officials and had to battle the fire from the outside
